Topic: Why did Boba Fett put himself next to Luke in Rotj?

Well something that i still ask myself is-why did Boba Fett rocket off the sailbarge next to Luke? isnt that really dangerous? i mean Lukes got a lightsaber, and Boba saw what happened to Jango when Mace got close. So why did Fett do that? What was he attempting, do you think?

im not sure what your saying here because he doesnt rocket off the sailbarge next to luke but lands on it next to Luke and i believe he did it because he learned from his father and believed he could defeat jedi ( which he has done before many times i believe...i mean he almost beat Vader and luke isn't exactly the chosen 1 ) and to answer your last question...he was attempting to kill Luke hence why he got so close. hope this helped

Actually, at my school a friend pointed out, right after Episode III, that Luke and Leia are th chosen ones. I don't really feel like saying it though.... Just remember what Yoda said, about the prophecy being read wrong possibly.

Um, yeah, ANYWAYS I don't think Boba felt very threatend of Luke, considering he didn't really have the proper training most Jedi's have, and since Boba was more battle-hardened then Luke. Besides, Luke wasnt the one who set off the Emergancy start on his jetpack, sent him flying into the side of th Sail Barge, and into the Sarlacc, was he? XD

Yeah he rockets off Jabbas "Sailbarge" which is the huge thing, onto the "skiff" next to Luke. And it did kinda help but what i think is that Fett should've seen that Luke could easily cut his gun in half with his lightsaber, so either Fett didn't think Luke could or he didn't mind losing his rifle.....i don't know. I wouldn't have done that until after shooting a few shots at Luke.

You know maybe Luke was wearing fabulous aftershave and Fett wanted to know where he got it from

Seriously, I think he was trying to ensure his "merchandise" (Han) was not allowed to escape. Would have put a blip on his resume.

Ah yes if Solo escaped Fett would've looked bad. Good point.

Not all people grow facial hair, that's a fact.

Back on topic.Why Fett did that.. Honestly no idea, there wasn't really sense in making that move.I think he underestimated Luke's abilities, since he was able to defeat Jedi who havebeen trained their whole life using the Force, Luke was still learning.

Sorry, but I'm not agreeing on this mentally challenged thing. Then again I could be taking this too seriously (even though I love to use sarcasm, at times I am not good at recognizing it). Jango isn't on my top ten list, but I still have the utmost respect for him. I'll go even further when I find out why (on an appropriate board of course).

Just because Boba is smarter than Jango doesn't mean Jango is retarded.

I didn't say playing the game proved he wasn't retarded, i mean his actions proved he was not "mentally challenged".

Thank you for seeing the reality of the situation.

Problem Solved: As it wasn't bad enough George Lucas was going to kill Fett off but the reason he didn't have himshoot first before going to the skiff was becasue boba was well fought against Jedi and realized to take one down you have to be close, froma distance Luke just would have sent his shots back at him, up close less of a chance.
